Specification of'Letters Patent.

Application filed June 8, 1912. Serial No. 702,517.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE S. FRAN KI, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Benwood, in the county of Marshall and. State of Vest Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Padlocks, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to looks, and the primary object. of my invention is to pro- -'vide a lock that can be used similar to a wherein like numerals denote corresponding,

parts throughout the several views, in wl1ich:-

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a lock in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the lock. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional View of the same. Fig. t is an end View of the locking member. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the key for the locking member. Fig. 6 is an end view of another locking member, and Fig.

7 a perspective view of the key for the same.

A look in accordance with thisv invention comprises a cylindrical body 1 .having a longitudinal cylindrical bore 2. One end of the bore 2 is closed, as at 3 and the walls of the bore .2, at the opposite end are screw threaded, as at4. 'The cylindrical body 1 is slot-ted, as at 5 and 6 and extending through said slot into thebore 2 are the I ends of a shackle 7. One end of the shackle 7 is pivotally mounted in the slot 6 by a transverse pinS, and the end of said shackle into the slot 6 of the body 1 so that thewalls of said slot will constitute a support for the keeper. The opposite end of the shackle 7 has a recess 13 to receive a pin 14, carried by an inner locking member 15 that is.

screwed into the threaded end of the bore 2. The inner locking member 15 has a triangular shaped shank 16 and a key 17 is fitted over the shank 16 to facilitate screwing the inner locking member 15 into the body 1.

The reference numeral 18 denotes an outer Patented-Aug. 2'7, 1912.

looking member that is screwed into the end of the bore 2, the inner end of said member having a recess 19 providing clearance for the shank 16. The outer end of the member 18 has a recess 20 and the walls of said recess are provided with equally spaced longitudinal ribs 21. To facilitate screwing the outer member 18 into the body 1, a key 22 is employedand this key has the side walls thereof provided with longitudinal grooves 23 to receive the ribs 21. With thekey fitted in the recess 20, the outer member 18 can be easily rotated.

The lock body 1, adjacent to the open end I thereof, isprovided with circumferentially arranged 'ribs 24 that are in parallelism to provide an annular groove, said groove receiving a ring 25 that has a staple 26.

The outer side of the locking member 18 has ribs-27 and arranged'between said ribs is a'ring 28 having a staple 29. The staples 26 and 29 can be connected by a wire, seal or other securing means 30, whereby the outer locking member 18 will be locked relatively to the lock body 1.

' From the foregoing it will be observed that even though the securing means 30 is removed, that it requires aspecial form of key to remove the locking'members 18 and and variations as fall within the scope of the appended claims.

' What I claim is Ina l ock of the type described, a cylindrical body, a shackle having one end thereinner looking'member, and means conneot- .10 of pivotally mounted in said body and the, ing said outer locking member to said body. opposite end thereof extending into said In testimony whereof I aflix my signature bo dy, ahkeepertagrangcied saild bgdyl dfco rein the presence of two Witnesses. oeive t e plvoe en 0 S211 s ac e, an
